Summary
  1. "Cities of the Middle East and North Africa is more than a comprehensive and colorful guide to major ancient and modern cities in the region: it is also an unprecedented work of historical research that covers 5,000 years of history in 100 cities. It traces the full trajectory of each city, from its origins to the present day, along with its ties to other cities. In the process, the volume offers readers an unparalleled comparative analysis of the region."--Jacket.
